Highlights of Forthcoming SAE J1507 and a Practical Realization of its Procedures for Radiated Susceptibility Testing of Automotive Systems

Abstract

The forthcoming SAE J1507 information report on f a c i l i t i e s and procedures fo r tes ting the suscept­ i b i l i t y (immunity) o f large complex systems to radiated electromagnetic energy is reviewed with the objectives o f h igh lighting potential te s t problems and describing a p rac tica l re a l iz a t io n o f an auto­ mated instrumentation system to perform the tes t in g . SAE J1507 s p e c i f ic a l ly addresses the tes t in g o f oper­ ating motor vehicles including passenger cars, buses, large trucks, e t c . , over the range o f frequen­ cies from 20 MHz to 18 GHz, but the f a c i l i t i e s , tech­ niques and procedures are equally applicable to other large , complex e lec tro n ic and electromechanical systems.
